The problem can be too FEW applications not too many, so if you're group is interested then go for it. It is crucial to have genuine long-term transition initiatives in there, not just techy ones.

by email to Harriet Festing at challenge@decc.gsi.gov.uk. If there are any Transition Initiatives that have very well established energy groups or energy enterprises-in-the-making then they will be the 'readiest' to go for this. If there are a number who would like to try for the funding then we might follow up with DECC whether consortium approach would be preferred.
